warranty

Hello, I wonder why when buying Sabrent SSD I get 1 year warranty automatically but I can get additional 4 years with free registration. Why can't I get all 5 years from start? And are additional 4 years of warranty worth it? This also applies to home appliances.

I've got a 1 year old 2tb Inland Premium m.2 drive that just randomly disappears in Windows until a reboot. I checked MC's website and they mention a 3yr warranty but no info on getting warranty service. I assume I just need to take it to MC and hopefully they'll just swap it out for a new one...

I bought a new XFX RX 570 XXX and it doesn't work with my motherboard, and newegg doesn't accept returns for opened packages, so I'm going to resell it but I want to pass on the warranty if possible. I know not all cards have transferrable warranties so I wanted to ask if this one does. I know...

Asking $245 shipped - Pending These are currently $270 on Amazon ($289 with tax). If you include the 5 year warranty, that would push the cost up to ~$305. Sold my GD09B build and moving to an A60 case which won't fit this 3 slot card. Probably has 20 hours of use on it. Never mined on. Part...

Just a heads up to any of you who have an XFX GPU with a lifetime warranty. It seems XFX is refusing to honor their lifetime warranties any longer. I have a R9 280X with a registered lifetime warranty. The card had to be RMAed back in 2015, therefore validating the warranty. However, when I...

Long praised for their customer service, and transferable warranty, EVGA has apparently, and very quietly changed their warranty policies as it pertains to used hardware. Any piece of EVGA hardware, including video cards, motherboards, power supplies, cases, laptops or peripherals that were...

As you are likely aware of, the FTC recently did away with all those "warranty void if sticker removed" warnings that have been declared illegal in the US. Most companies are updating their warranty statements to fall in line with this. ASUS has gone a step further, and I am sure many of you...

We've been following the issue with the FTC and warranty stickers over the last month of so and it looks like the FTC is winning this battle. Nintendo has changed their policy regarding unlicensed repair shops and voiding of warranties after the FTC told them they were violating the law. Six...

In a follow up to a story we did last month where the FTC stated that "Warranty Void if Removed" stickers are BS, Motherboard has obtained copies of the letters sent to companies via a FoIA request. The companies that were warned in the letters were Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Hyundai, HTC, and...

Greetings all! I have a $400 piece of equipment that is out of warranty and has apparently been fried by a recent storm of lightning (surges). It was connected to an APC surge suppressor power strip. Has anyone ever used the $10xxxxx guarantee that are advertised on surge suppressors?? How did...

You likely know that Seasonic has been one of HardOCP's favorite PSU brands for many years now, and with good reason. Go back and look through our Seasonic reviews listing, and you will see why. Out of the 23 Seasonic PSUs we have reviewed since 2007, only two were not awarded, and those still...

My EVGA 980 Ti hydro copper started "flickering" the display when in-game a few months ago. I thought it might just be a driver issue since if I window a game, it was fine. When playing Call of Duty BO 3 or similar, the screen just flickers like a TV camera recording a LCD screen. When...

I bought myself a P55Wv6-PC3D because it was on sale for $1,055. Most laptops have atrocious thermal paste jobs and you can wring lower temps out of them by remedying this. However, since the machine is brand-new I'd prefer not to void the warranty, hence my question. There are stickers...

In April 2016, I purchased a GIGABYTE GA-Z170X-Gaming 6 (rev. 1.0) motherboard form Newegg. The motherboard was delivered on May 3rd 2016. The fan headers started dying on the motherboard less than 6 weeks after it was delivered from Newegg. Unfortunately it was outside of the Newegg.com 30...

Sorry if this is in the wrong board, but I have a question, and also to share my experience with the RMA report. So I have posted an original troubleshooting question on the forum regarding a failedMSI Z170A SLI PLUS (original thread:Z170A SLI PLUS, debug light shows CPU not detected after...
